Two categories of documentation are available for Grid Engine, user/administrator
level manuals for the compiled software and developer oriented technical
documentation. Some of those files are available in PDF format. You will
need Adobe Acrobat Reader to display them.

<p>Links to the Sun Grid Engine software documentation of current and older
releases can be found in the
<A href="http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunGridEngine/Home">Sun Grid Engine Documentation Center</A>.</p>
<p>In addition, "nroff" on-line manual pages can be
checked out from /gridengine/doc/man by 
<A href="/project/gridengine/tooldocs.html">using CVS</a>. These pages
are highly similar to the Reference Manual.
This includes a description of all client/server commands, of all file
formats and of the internally used programming interfaces.</p>

<p>For administrators and users we also recommend the 
<A href="/project/gridengine/howto/howto.html">HOWTOs</a>,
specifically in case of problems or questions concerning how Grid Engine
might be best applied to a specific scenario.
